// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record is pooled across all her art units, aggregating decisions from different technology areas within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 57% describes her past-decided applications and reflects historical performance only. Pooled figures mask variation across individual art units; a separate section details per-art-unit records. These statistics are historical and are not predictions about any future application.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jennifer Marie Gutman has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 63 applications.

Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
